About the role

  • What if the work you did every day could impact the lives of people you know?
  • Our efforts enable life-changing discoveries that are transforming human health through the early detection and diagnosis of diseases and new treatment options for patients.
  • Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible.

Responsibilities

  • Build the information foundation for successful architecture activity. Create and maintain documents, models, & diagrams describing functional workflows. Examples include biochemistry workflows, hardware timing diagrams, and assembly process workflows.
  • Develop system models that guide design decisions. These can include system tolerance budgets, performance models, COGS models, etc. Provide mentorship to sub-system engineers in the development of models that guide lower level design decisions.
  • Support architecture definition by working across sub-system design teams to align overlapping design requirements /constraints and drive teams in developing concepts, evaluating risks, and efficiently concluding on a design path.
  • Own the seams between teams, especially including the definition and documentation of inputs/outputs between hardware sub-system design and other teams such as software, firmware and electrical engineering teams.
  • Lead teams through complex root-cause analysis in which there are many possible root causes that involve various areas of physics. Mentor others on systematic best practices for problem solving (8D method, fish-bone diagrams, etc.).
  • Manage teams and projects including planning, scheduling, budgeting, and reporting. Teams will include both internal engineering teams and external design & manufacturing partners.
  • The Staff Systems Architect will be responsible for providing leadership to cross functional teams to develop industry-leading DNA sequencing instruments for clinical applications in an exciting, fast-paced environment.
  • Develop, manage, execute test strategies for Critical Parameter Management which identify the sensitivities and acceptable operating ranges for input parameters relative to output metrics.

Requirements

  • Strong communication and presentation skills (ability to distill complex technical information into product decisions and business recommendations).
  • Demonstrated experience with characterization and testing of complex systems, including design of experiments and root cause analysis.
  • Proven performance in product development in an industrial setting, bringing a product from concept to commercial launch.

Skills

  • Technically proficient in disciplines including optics, microfluidics, heat transfer, precision motion, and electronics.
  • Fluency in the methods and vocabulary of nucleic acid analytical techniques and molecular biology.
  • Specific experience with product development for laboratory instrumentation for biological analysis.

Compensation

  • The estimated base salary range for the Staff System Architect role based in the United States of America is: $118,200 - $177,200.

Benefits

  • At Illumina, we are expanding access to genomic technology to realize health equity for billions of people around the world.
  • The foundation of all activities for this role is a wide, solid grasp of multiple areas of engineering physics and molecular biology, and the ability to climb new learning curves quickly.
  • Leverage Design of Experiments for efficient coverage of complex parameter space.
